I doubt any of these will be relevant for you but as a guy who has lived in Korea for the last 8 years and is married to a Korean I can share the ways we beat the heat. Korea gets incredibly hot and humid in the months of July and August after the monsoons stop. One way that Koreans deal with...

Hey Oz, If you are looking for mild to medium smokes that almost never disappoint and are generally easy on the wallet I recommend anything by CAO. They are readily available, generally high quality and they have a lot in their line-up so you can have fun trying all the different ones. I also...

I heard a good expression once, "living under the tyranny of the immediate". Explains what happens at my job as a school principal all the time. Racing around dealing with unpredictable events that consume your thoughts and rarely getting a chance to sit back, reflect and look at the bigger...

Love that rusticated billiard. Nice work sir!

Amen Cart! But what you speak of can apply to Canada as well. Up there we live with the PC (politically correct) police where nobody is allowed to be offended by anyone else. Canada Day was on the first of July.

I noticed it applies to all MacBaren products. At 4noggins they have all increased by almost 30%.

Or should I say, I snooze I lose. For the last couple of days I've been debating about an order. I love Capstan blue and was just about to buy a few tins but just wasn't sure about the other tin or 2 I would buy along with them. Well damn if the price didn't go up over night. Suddenly the...

Thanks Michael. Union Station has been on my list for a while...gonna have to try it. As oneVirginia and cigar fan to another I want to recommend Capstan Blue and Bells 3 Nuns. 3 Nuns is Virginia and Kentucky but its great if you like old school tobacco flavor. Cheers!

Come spend some time in Korea and you will appreciate your Texan neighbors. Consideration for others and politeness towards strangers...alien concepts here. But as my old man always said to me "Don't let the bastards grind you down." Really...enjoy your pipe and take comfort in the knowledge...

Thanks Guyrox and JimInks! Molasses and Kenucky sound tasty to me. Think I will get some in the next order.

So Guyrox...if you read this what did u think of it? I love the Golden Slices so was thinking about get the DSK. Thumbs up or down?

Just a note but should we be cautious about posting explicitly about this? The only reason I say so is because I am paranoid about Customs doing internet searches on this kind of info and then knowing from hereafter to watch for parcels labelled "pipe supplies" or worse that some of our...

I bought a brick of it about a year ago. Its very raw and earthy. The first thing that will grab you is the cut and appearance of it...its bushy because its totally dry in kind of crimped cut. The smell is quite fragrant with a kind of wine-like character to it which is quite something...

On that note, here is a poem written by Jerome K. Jerome from his book "Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow". TO THE VERY DEAR AND WELL-BELOVED FRIEND OF MY PROSPEROUS AND EVIL DAYS— TO THE FRIEND WHO, THOUGH IN THE EARLY STAGES OF OUR ACQUAINTANCESHIP DID...

I think whats prompted me to post about that is that over the last 3 weeks due to a way too busy schedule I have relied on one pipe and blend. The pipe is a Peterson army mount 86 and the tobacco Capstan blue. Everywhere I go they come too and when a precious break presents itself we retire...

I was just being silly. Once again a well intentioned thread was morphing into talk of ketchup and old ladies panties. Honestly I have only tried 4 MacBare blends and can say they all had a sweetness but no idea if was honey. Lots of reviews on TR allude to MacB topping with honey...that's...

Captain Black White...jeez. I'm thinking more like Best Brown Flake and one Dunhill pipe. Refinement. Concerning the pants..I do a lot of laundry :D

And don't forget...ALL MacBarens have honey in them.

I much preferred Frogger.

I wonder if any of you pipers out there think the same way I do. Or experience the same thing I am these days. A number of years ago when I discovered pipe smoking I wanted to try as many kinds of tobacco as possible. Still do. So I began to collect as many different kinds of recommended...
